We are pleased to announce that Tina Harkey has been named State Director of Administrative Services for RHA’s Behavioral Health units. Tina began serving in this role in early October.

“Tina’s skill set fits well with our objective to streamline back and front-office functions throughout NC, in addition to helping us maintain efficient admin functionality as we expand into other states,” said Brandon Golder, Senior Vice President of Behavioral Health.

Tina’s objective is to ensure all RHA Behavioral Health business offices have consistent processes and practices in place in areas such as Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Enrollment, Credentialing, Purchasing, etc. This consistency not only helps us ensure current operations, it will ensure we’re ready for the expansion of our behavioral health services in the future.

While Tina oversees all behavioral health administrative functions across North Carolina, the business office staff will report to the Director at each unit.

“RHA has afforded me the opportunity to utilize many of my skills while also growing by working with dynamic leaders in many different areas”, said Tina. “I am excited about my new role and the opportunity to work with other leaders across RHA.”
